Dear all,
I have a question. In Chinese, the Tibetan practice is literally
translated as the "Mystic Order", the Chan practice is literally
translated as the "Grand Mystic Order". Chan is the grand one, because
Rong-Shu Patriarch brought the Chan to Tibet and affected their practice.
In Chan 『秘密內證法』 "Mystic Inner Witness Dharma" means an inward
practice enabling heart to heart witness of Buddha. That's all. There
is really nothing mystic about it.
Is the term "mystic or mysticism" means the same as the I described
above or not?
Much obliged,
_/\_

That's kind of the point of the book. She is trying to bring mysticism
down to Earth, as it were. She wants to show that not only monks can
do it.
